Are Craftsman Tools Made in the USA?

Craftsman makes tools and equipment for everyone from DIYers to farmers and industrial manufacturers. They were the tool brand for Sears since the 1920’s before getting bought by Stanley Black & Decker at the beginning of 2017. Let’s dive into their product lines and where they are manufactured.

Verdict: Is Craftsman Made in the USA?

The majority of Craftsman tools are not produced in the United States. Craftsman uses many third party manufacturers to make their various products. Beginning in 2010, many of Craftsman’s hand tools (manufactured by Apex Tool Group) began to be assembled in China in Taiwan. Craftsman uses another manufacturer called Western Forge to make tools like screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches, pliers, and bigger mechanic tool sets – these products are still made in the U.S.

Here are some of the other companies that Craftsman uses to make their tools: Techtronic Industries (portable power tools), Dewalt (hand power tools), Emerson Electric Company (bench and stationary tools), DeVilbiss Air Power (air compressors), Waterloo Industries (tool storage), and The Chamberlain Brand (garage door openers).
